Every Lineup Fighter: Petr Yan, $9,000, (-340)
Cong Wang is my favorite pick on this card, but she is the highest priced player on the slate at a whopping $9,600. Yan is my 2nd favorite so he's going to be my main horse guiding my lineups. From a betting standpoint, Yan is the favorite receiving 59% of bets but only has 33% of the money at -305 odds. I have a hard time seeing Vegas pay out nearly 70% of the pot at +245. Figi has been on a run and Yan has been on a slide but there is some missing context beyond the on-paper stats. The three loses he had recently were to Aljamain Sterling (recent champ), Sean O'Malley (recent champ), and Merab Dvalishvili (current champ). Figi has faced good opponents and recent champs as well, but his run has been subjectively easier than Yan's. I'm rolling with Yan, who has been a champ himself, to get the win and step in line for another huge fight.
